    <dd>CSS is used to render information to a device. These devices exist
        in the real world and have dimensions and capabilities that are
        measurable. So, CSS provides a way for document content to
        explicitly specify how it will be mapped to a physical device. If
        a property value contains an illegal unit measure, the entire style
        rule should be ignored.
